SEI has a wide variety of ships to purchase. Take note the different factions listed below.

Universal ships are the neutral ships of SEI and can be purchased by all players at any homeworld. All other factions ships can only be purchased at that factions homeworld and only by players with high enough reputation with that faction (as shown on the chart below).

The following is a list of all Ships:

Upgrades

As you can see Ships have many things that can be different from one ship to the next.

Lets go in order of the chart above:

Ship Class: This is the type of ship available. There are numerous classes of ships. This has little effect on gameplay other than helping you or your opponent distinguish one ship from another.

Ship Size: This is the size of a ship. Depending on what size a ship is its weapon choices are restricted. Ships can not carry a weapon that has a size that is larger than the ships size. A size 1 ship can only carry size 1 weapons, but a size 4 ship can carry any size weapons from 1 - 4. However, ships of size 5 or higher are too large to hold weapons of size 4 or lower.

Weapon Slots: This is how many empty weapon slots are available on the ship when you first purchase it. Any ship can carry up to 20 weapon slots.

Equipment Slots: This is how many pieces of Equipment can fit on a ship. This can never be upgraded on any ship.

Fighters: This is how many Fighters a ship starts with. Fighters function like any Weapon, however their damage is dependent on how many fighters you have. The more you have the more damage you will do.

Shields: This is how many Shields a ship starts with. Shields are a ships primary defence. Shields will absorb damage after any fighters you may have are destroyed.

Armor: This is how much Armor your ship starts with. Armor is your last line of defence. If an attacker gets you down to 0 armor, your ship will explode.

Maneuverability: This is your ships agility. The higher Maneuverability your ship has the more likely it is to dodge incoming fire from fighters or other ships weapons.

Artificial Intelligence: (Ship AI) AI performs several functions. The amount of AI your ship has will increase it's initiative (increase it's chance to fire first in combat). AI will also help your ships accuracy, the higher you ships AI, the more Man another ship will need to dodge your fire.

Cargo: This is how many cargo holds your ship starts with. You will need cargo holds to carry Fuel, Metal, Electronics, Organics, Colonists and other things for sale.

Fuel Rate: This is how much Fuel and Crystal your ship can Gather in about one turn.

Metal Rate: This is how much Metal and Electronics your ship can Gather in about one turn.

Reputation: This is the required reputation needed with the faction that owns the ships before it can be purchased from them.

Other Ship Items not listed in the chart above (user specific things).

Ship Level: As you upgrade your ship, upgrades become more costly because your ship gets larger and larger. Your Ships Level is a reflection of this upgraded size.

Ship Rating: When you add weapons to your ship, each weapon adds Rating to your ship. This number is available to you and to your opponent and gives a general idea of what amount of damage your ship can do to a planet or another ship.

The Following Upgrades for your ships are available at homeworlds:
